Question

How do you get -2 from
-13 = -5x -23

Answer 1

`-13=-5x-23`

First, we Switch sides:

• 
  `-5x-23=-13`

Then we, add 23 from both sides:

• 
  `-5x-23+23=-13+23`

• 
  `-5x=10`

Divide both sides by -5:

• 
  `(-5x)/(-5)=(10)/(-5)`

• 
  `x=-2`

Answer 2

Step-by-step answer:

-13 = -5x - 23

-13 + 23 = -5x - 23

-5x = 10

x = 10 ÷ (-5) = -2
